Most Yorkies are known to be picky but there are some that are really picky. I have one like that. Pao is a good 10 pounds but he picks. I have tried kibbles from Innova, Canidae, Wellness, Blue Buffalo, Solid Gold, Royal Canin, Acana, Orijen. Acana and Orijen had his interest for a little longer than the others but not for long. I also tried canned-Canidae, Merrick's, Dick van Pattern, Cesar, even Ol' Roy and so many others that I don't even recall anymore and a commercial cooked called Human Grade Doggie Cuisine. I also tried the prey model raw once and he wouldn't eat it, he would just walk around the house to find places to hide it and it'll just stay at the hiding spot! If I pen him with the raw, he wouldn't eat at all and barks to be let out.
I have not tried the raw medallions though.

He is now on homecooking, I have gotten some recipes from a good website and he still picks but is eating better. I know he loves chicken and turkey and does not like beef so I stick to what he likes but I do stick to the recipe and the supplements. The only thing different that I do now is adding half of a Merrick's sausages that comes in different flavours and I rotate the flavours (French Country Cafe, Grammy's Pot Pie, New Zealand Summer, Cowboy Cookout, Thanksgiving, Venison) each time and so far, he has been doing good on it for the past month. Is there something that she particularly like from a meat source? Chicken, turkey, beef, lamb? Or vege that she likes? Mix vege?

I can understand how frustrating it can be. I hope you'll be able to find something that she likes. Oh...I also bought the Tripett canned lamb tripe again and gave him some of that. He used to eat it as a puppy so maybe you'd want to try that? It used to be really smelly but this time that I bought it, it smells okay not too bad.
